I ask this because I haven’t kept up with it as much as I wanted to: The cars that are developed run on the mechanism you say; so as I’m interpreting the real issue is not the operational problems, but the production of the final product. Is the outcome the same no matter which method is going to be used? If that’s the case is this the oil barrens of the world last chance "per say" to cash in on a technology they know is eventually going to overtake petro anyway? That would mean there withholding development intentionally and I know they would never do such a thing.
I don’t know if outside pressure is guiding President Bush or even if one of his predecessors initiated this before him, but I'm glad something is finally being done. I've heard conflicting reports about fossil fuels doing / not doing damage. I love my unnecessary jacked-up obnoxious mud romping Jeep, but would gladly give it up if I knew there was going to be across the board conversion to something cleaner. Not to mention the fact there is going to be a day when there is no more oil. Hopefully there will be enough progression before that to render oil obsolete. It’s a matter of some few to sacrifice some pocket change. (IMO)
